I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

HELLO DIKSHITA,

You are likely Kapha-pitta predominant, which means your body naturally tends to gain weight, hold water, and have issues related to digestion and metabolism, especially if your lifestyle is sedentary or stressful

WHAT IS PCOD IN AYURVEDA? In Ayurveda, PCOD is described as a yoni vyapad(disorder of female reproductive system), especially “ARTAVA DUSHTI”(impure or disturbed menstrual blood). It mainly occurs due to -Kapha accumulation= blocked the channels and causes cysts -medo dhatu (fat tissue) imbalance - agni(digestive fire) is low- causing poor metabolism -Aama(toxins) formulation due to indigestion food

THIS CAUSES -irregular and painful periods -hormonal imbalance - obesity -hairfall/acne - mood swings/anxiety

TREATMENT GOALS -reduces excess kapha and meda(fat) -clears aama(toxins) and improve agni(metabolism) -balance hormones naturally - regulates menstrual cycle and reduce pain - calm the mind and reduce anxiety (Manas doshas)

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for 3-6 months =removes toxins, improves gut health, help with weight loss

2) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water for 3-6 months =reduces swelling, cysts, lymphatic congestion, and fat

3) ASHOKARISHTA= 2 tsp with equal water after meals for 3 months =balances female hormones and reduces pain and heavy bleeding

4) SHATAVARI GRANULES= 1 tsp with milk twice daily in morning and night for 3-4 months =supports hormonal balance and relieves anxiety

5) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 2 tabs twice daily before for for 2 months =enhances metabolism, clears toxins from liver

6) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab at night for 2-3 months = improves mood, reduces stress and helps sleep

DIET

AVOID -sugar, jaggery, sweets, bakery ,maida -fried and processed foods - milk and curd- especially at night - cold water, soft drinks -excess rice, potatoes, bananas - non veg food- limit or avoid

FOODS TO INCLUDE

1) WHOLE GRAINS -millets= foxtail, barnyard, kodo, little millet- regulate insulin and reduce fat -quinoa, amaranth, red/brown rice -rolled oats(not instant)

2) VEGETABLES -focus on bitter, pungent, and astringent food -bitter gourd, drumstick, methi -cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, ash gourd -avoid raw salads, cook lightly and digestive spices

3) FRUITS(LOW GLYCEMIC) -amla=fresh or churna -pomegrante -apples, pears, papaya, berries

4) PROTEINS -Plant based= Moong dal, massor dal, horse gram, sprouted lentils -Animal based (if non veg)= boiled eggs, grilled fish(2 times/week)

5) HEALTHY FATS -cold pressed sesame oil -ghee=1 tsp/day -flax seed oil -seeds= flax, chia, pumpkin seeds- support estrogen balance

6) HERBS AND SPICES -turmeric, cinnamon, fenugreek, cumin, coriander, ajwian, -black pepper+ ginger

LIFESTYLE CHANGES FOR DEEP HEALING

1) DAILY RHYTHM -wake up before 7 am= sets hormonal rhythm -hydration=warm water with lemon+pinch of turmeric or methi seeds water(soaked overnight) -meal timing= eat meals at regular intervals; no skipping -sleep= sleep by 10-10:30 pm to optimise melatonin and cortisol balance -avoid excessive screen time, especially before sleep

DETOX PRACTICES TO FOLLOW these helps removes toxins and reduce cyst formation -Triphala churna= 1 tsp at night with warm water -CASTOR OIL=montly one 10 ml in milk at night -Self oil massage= sesame oil daily before shower -TAKRA- buttermilk spiced with cumin and ginger daily after lunch

YOGA AND MOVEMENT

BEST YOGA ASANAS -malasana= opens pelvic region -baddha konasana= improves circulation to ovaries -Bhujangasana= stimulates abdominal organs -setu bandhasana= balances thyroid and pelvic hormones -suryanamskar= 5-7 rounds

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones, calms mind - bhramari= reduces anxiety and supports pitutary -kapalbhati= light version, support metabolism

MIND BODY CONNECTION PCOD is deeply linked with stress and emotional stagnation -practicue gratitude journaling, emotional release -engage in art, music, or nature therapy -reduce overthinking and over working- both aggravate vata

WEIGHT LOSS TIPS FOR PCOD -start your day with warm lemon water or methi water - eat light dinner before 7:30 pm -avoid emotional or binge eating- eat mindfully -chew slowly- improves digestion and satiety - avoid cold drinks- slows metabolism - drink triphala or cumin-fenugreek tea after meals - be consistent- small changes daily give long-term results

You are young and your body can heal beautifully if you follow a natural, consistent, and gentle routine. Ayurveda works slow but deep- give your body time. Don’t panic with slow progress. Even 5-10 % weight loss with greatly improve PCOD symptoms

DO FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR 3 MONTHS

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Dr. Sumi. S
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician with specialized expertise in Shalakya Tantra, focusing on the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the Netra (eyes), Karna (ears), Nasa (nose), Mukha (oral cavity), Danta (teeth), and Shira (head and ENT region). My training and clinical experience have equipped me to treat a wide range of conditions such as Netra Abhishyanda (conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early and advanced cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Karna Nada (tinnitus), Pratishyaya (chronic rhinitis and sinusitis), Mukhapaka (oral ulcers), Dantaharsha (dental sensitivity), and Shirashoola (headache and migraine). I routinely incorporate classical Ayurvedic therapeutic techniques like Kriya Kalpas, Nasya, Tarpana, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, Gandusha, Pratisarana, and Dhoomapana, along with internal Rasayana and Shamana therapies, ensuring treatments are both effective and tailored to each patient’s prakriti and condition. Beyond my specialization, I bring over two years of clinical experience managing multi-systemic disorders. My approach blends classical Ayurvedic principles with a sound understanding of modern diagnostics and pathology, allowing me to handle cases related to metabolic disorders (such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and PCOS), musculoskeletal issues (like arthritis and back pain), gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, and women’s health concerns, including infertility and hormonal imbalance. I believe in evidence-informed practice, patient education, and holistic healing. My focus is always on delivering compassionate care that empowers patients to actively participate in their health journey. Through continuous learning and clinical research, I remain committed to upholding the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that aligns with today’s healthcare needs.

Thank you for sharing this, Dikshitha. You’re dealing with multiple interconnected issues — PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease), weight gain, painful heavy periods, and anxiety — which are common but manageable with the right integrative approach. Let me guide you through investigations, Ayurvedic treatment, Pathya-Apathya (diet guidelines), and lifestyle changes step-by-step.

AYURVEDIC VIEW:

Your condition can be seen under the spectrum of:

“Artava Dushti” (menstrual disorder)

“Medoroga” (obesity)

“Kapha-Vata Pradhana Tridoshajanya Vikara” (Kapha and Vata imbalance)

Anxiety is linked to Rajo Guna aggravation and Prana Vata imbalance

Please get the following tests done (if not already):

Hormonal & Metabolic:

LH, FSH ratio (for PCOD) Prolactin AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) TSH, T3, T4 (thyroid profile) Serum Insulin (fasting & post-prandial) HbA1c (blood sugar control) Lipid profile Vitamin D, B12 Pelvic ultrasound (to confirm polycystic ovaries)

Internal Medications: 1.Kanchanara Guggulu 2 tabs twice daily Shrinks cysts, reduces weight 2.Triphala Guggulu 2-0-2 at night Detox & digestion 3.Ashokarishta 15 ml twice daily after food Controls heavy bleeding 4.Punarnavadi Mandoor 1-0-1 after food twice Reduces swelling, improves iron levels 5.Shatavari churna 1 tsp with milk at bedtime Hormonal balance, mental calmness 6.Kamdudha Ras 125 mg with honey Anxiety + acidity support

Refined sugar, sweets, cold drinks

Overeating and late-night meals

Sitting for too long without movement

LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT:

Daily Routine:

1. Wake up before 6:30 AM

3. Yoga & Pranayama (30–40 mins daily)

Yoga Poses:

Malasana (Garland Pose) – good for PCOD

Sleep:

Avoid using the phone 30 mins before sleep

HELLO DIKSHITA MAHANTA, dear,You’re just 19, and your body is already struggling with weight gain, PCOD, painful periods, and anxiety. I want you to pause for a moment and just breathe this is not your fault. What’s happening is not because you’re lazy or weak. It’s because your hormones, digestion, and mind have lost their balance and they’re simply asking you to reset.

At 19, your body is like soft clay it responds quickly if you start the right rhythm. No crash diets. No starving. No guilt. You don’t need 100 medicines. What you need is a lifestyle change that gives you peace, energy, and healthy periods again. right now what ur experiencing and how our treatment starts is ,

Your Agni (digestive fire) is slow Your Kapha is stuck in the belly (weight + PCOD) Your Apana Vata is blocked (painful periods) And your mind is tired (anxiety) The best treatment is not a pill. It’s how you live every day. That is your medicine.

Internal Ayurvedic Medicines (for 8 weeks)

Sukumaram Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before meals Triphala Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food (burns fat, clears cysts) Ashokarishta – 20 ml + 20 ml water after meals (balances periods) Manasamitra Vatakam – 1 tab at night (calms mind, improves sleep) Punarnava Churna – ½ tsp with warm water at bedtime (reduces bloating, water retention)

Lifestyle: Your Real Medicine

Wake up by 6:30–7:00 am. Start with a glass of warm jeera + methi water Move your body every day – dancing, yoga, walking, skipping, or Suryanamaskar (10 rounds) Use stairs instead of lift, walk for 5 mins after every meal Do Anulom Vilom + Bhramari Pranayama for 10 mins in morning to reduce anxiety Sleep before 10:30 PM, avoid phone 1 hour before bed Avoid sitting in one place too long – keep your blood and mood moving Oil massage twice a week with Kottamchukkadi taila over lower abdomen and thighs Remember: Discipline is love for your future self. You are healing you.

What to Eat (Pathya)

Morning: Soaked 5 almonds + 2 dates + 7 raisins Breakfast: Upma with veggies / Moong dal cheela / Red rice poha Lunch: Lauki or beetroot sabzi + moong dal + phulka with ghee Evening: Roasted makhana / coconut water / fruit Dinner: Vegetable soup or moong dal khichdi Bedtime: Warm water + pinch of dry ginger or cinnamon Drink jeera + saunf water through the day.

When dealing with PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) alongside obesity, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to managing the symptoms and promoting overall well-being. To start, let’s look at diet and lifestyle changes that align with Ayurvedic principles.

First, balancing Kapha dosha, which is often associated with weight gain and hormonal imbalances, is crucial. Incorporate warming spices like ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon to stimulate digestion and metabolism. These spices can be added to teas, meals, or warm water.

A balanced diet should focus on whole grains like barley, millet, and quinoa, which help to manage blood sugar levels—especially important in PCOD. Avoid processed sugars and reduce dairy and saturated fats, which can aggravate Kapha. Instead, opt for fresh vegetables and fruits with low sugar content, prioritizing green leafy vegetables, berries, and citrus fruits.

Eating your main meal at midday when your digestive fire is strongest and having lighter dinners can also assist in weight loss. Try drinking warm water with lemon first thing in the morning to kickstart your metabolism.

Regular exercise tailored to your capacity is equally important. Yoga, especially poses like Bharadvajasana (Twist), and Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand) can improve blood circulation and balance hormones. Start with light exercises and gradually increase intensity.

Consider integrating Ashwagandha to support stress and anxiety management, which can indirectly impact weight and hormonal balance. It’s typically taken in powder or capsule form, follow the instructions or consult a local practitioner for accurate dosage.

Period regulation and reducing menstrual discomfort may be aided by Shatavari, a traditional herb known for supporting female reproductive health. Consuming aloe vera juice can also help in managing menstrual irregularity.

Engage in stress-reducing practices like meditation or pranayama (breath exercises), as stress can worsen both PCOD and weight gain. Aim for 10-15 minutes daily, gradually increased based on comfort and ability.

Remember to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment, especially herbal supplements. Tailoring these recommendations to fit into your daily routine while being consistent will be essential for seeing progress. It’s also important to monitor how your body responds and make adjustments as necessary.

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) combined with obesity can be challenging, but there are some practical Siddha-Ayurvedic strategies that could help. First, focusing on lifestyle is central. Incorporating regular exercise, like brisk walking for 30-45 minutes daily, can be beneficial. Choose something sustainable and enjoyable for consistent practice.

Diet plays a crucial role, especially with your prakriti (body constitution). Minimizing the intake of processed foods, refined sugar, and dairy can help balance your doshas. Emphasize fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Eating smaller, frequent meals supports metabolism, keeping agni (digestive fire) in balance.

For PCOD, addressing the dosha imbalance is key. Usually, Kapha and Pitta imbalances play significant roles. Turmeric with warm water daily aids metabolism and inflammation. Fenugreek seeds soaked overnight, then consumed in the morning, can support hormonal balance. Avoid excessively spicy, sour, and salty food which can aggravate Pitta, leading to heavy and painful periods.

In terms of anxiety, nurturing the Vata dosha with practices like yoga, specifically pranayama (breathing exercises), could be very helpful. Consider some meditation or mindful activities daily for stress reduction, which also supports hormonal health.

For painful periods, Cumin tea or ginger with honey can relieve menstrual pain. Ashoka (Saraca asoca) decoctions are traditionally used to address heavy periods and balance doshas. Be sure to consult with a qualified practitioner before starting any new regimen.

Always keep an eye on your symptoms and seek professional attention if your condition worsens or heavy bleeding persists. Your safety and wellbeing must be the priority.

I am working as an Ayurvedic doctor since 2 yrs now, and honestly the more I work with patients, the more I realise how vast Ayurveda actually is—like it’s not just herbs n oils, it’s a whole mindset shift too. What I try to do daily is bring the traditional knowledge into actual usable treatment plans that ppl today can follow without feeling overwhelmed. Because yeah, modern life is fast, messy, complicated—and Ayurveda has to adapt, not stay frozen in texts. My focus is always to go beyond the symptom, like okay you’ve got acidity or hairfall or anxiety... but why? where is it sitting in the body? That’s where I do prakriti-vikriti analysis, diet breakdowns, gut evaluations—some ppl don’t even know their sleep patterns are messing up their hormones till we sit and talk it out. I don’t just push medicine. I explain why your food matters, why your bowel timings affect your skin, or how skipping breakfast can worsen PCOD. I keep it simple but sharp. Patients feel heard I think, coz I don’t rush. Even for lifestyle disorders like diabties, thyroid, IBS or stress burnouts—I try combining classical herbs with practical daily changes that they can actually do. And yeah, I constantly update myself—reading, workshops, CME’s, sometimes even just asking senior docs. Ayurveda is ancient, sure—but if you don’t bring it into present day logic, what’s the point right? Every person I treat kinda teaches me something new. No case is “small”, whether it's hairfall or constipation or sleep trouble... each one needs its own lens. I believe in being honest, open, and okay to say “I don’t know yet” till I study more. That’s how I grow, that’s how I care.

I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with over 28 years of clinical experience dedicated to the principles and practice of authentic Ayurvedic medicine. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of treating more than 100,000 patients through both in-person consultations and online platforms. My approach is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic diagnostics—such as Nadi Pariksha (pulse examination), Roga-Rogi Pariksha (patient and disease evaluation), and a personalized assessment of prakriti (body constitution). Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of health conditions across all age groups—from acute infections and digestive issues to chronic and lifestyle disorders such as arthritis, diabetes, respiratory ailments, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions. I place strong emphasis on individualized care, combining herbal formulations, Panchakarma detox therapies, and dietary and lifestyle guidance to ensure long-term healing and disease prevention. My extensive experience also includes addressing complex, chronic illnesses that require a deep understanding of both the pathology and the patient’s overall constitution. I have worked with patients who had previously struggled with little success in other systems of medicine, and have guided many toward sustainable recovery and improved quality of life. Whether treating elderly patients with degenerative disorders or young adults facing hormonal or metabolic challenges, I strive to offer care that is compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-informed. My goal is to empower patients with Ayurvedic wisdom so they can take an active role in their healing journey. I continue to remain updated with the evolving landscape of integrative health and value the importance of patient education, ethical practice, and consistent follow-up. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession, but a lifelong commitment to restoring balance and promoting well-being, one patient at a time.

Dr. Ayushya Kumar Singh
I am someone who got into Ayurveda not just for treating diseases but cuz I always felt drawn to understanding why things go out of balance in the first place. My work’s rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—I’ve spent years studying them, not just memorizing shlokas but really figuring out what they mean in today’s context. At the same time, I also use modern diagnostic stuff where needed, just to get a fuller picture. Pulse diagnosis (Nadi Pariksha) is something I rely on a lot—it’s not easy to master but with practice, it kinda tells you what the body’s hiding, even before symptoms scream out loud. I focus mostly on chronic issues… like gut problems, fatigue, hormonal mess, skin disorders, and stress stuff that just doesn’t go away with tablets. I use herbal formulations (mostly customized), Panchakarma when needed—not in a one-size way but actually based on the person’s Prakriti and Vikriti. I also spend a good chunk of time explaining things to patients. Like why you should eat this in winter, or skip curd at night or not mix fruits with milk—little stuff people think doesn’t matter, but actually does in Ayurveda. Over time, I’ve realized people don’t just want relief, they want to understand how their body works again. That’s kinda where I feel most useful. I help patients reconnect with natural rhythms, daily routines, sleep cycles, digestion, seasons—all of it. And ya, it’s slow sometimes. But once things shift internally, you see it show up on the outside too. That’s what keeps me going honestly. Whether it’s stress or sluggish metabolism or just someone feeling “not right” without knowing why—I try to listen deep, go to the root n create a treatment path that’s realistic and sustainable. Not just ideal on paper. Healing, for me, is something we do together, not something I just hand over. I want people to feel heard n understood… and to believe their bodies can heal, with the right support. That’s what Ayurveda is to me—real, ancient, and still totally alive.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I’m Dr. Maitri, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Dravyaguna (Ayurvedic Pharmacology), with a strong foundation in classical Ayurvedic herbs and their therapeutic applications. I currently run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli, where I have been practicing for the past two years, offering personalized treatment plans rooted in the principles of Ayurveda. My clinical focus includes the management of PCOD, skin and hair disorders, and joint-related conditions such as arthritis, stiffness, and back pain. By integrating my academic training with hands-on experience, I strive to provide treatments that are both effective and sustainable. I place a strong emphasis on understanding each patient’s prakriti (individual constitution) and tailor therapies using medicinal herbs, dietary corrections (ahara), and lifestyle guidance (vihara) to restore balance and long-term health. Having a background in Dravyaguna allows me to apply the power of plant-based medicine with precision. I deeply study the rasa, guna, virya, vipaka, and prabhava of each herb before selecting them for my formulations. This ensures that my prescriptions are not just symptomatic but deeply curative, targeting the root causes of disease. In my practice, I have seen encouraging results in cases of hormonal imbalance, acne, pigmentation, premature hair fall, and chronic joint pain. I also guide patients through seasonal detox plans and rejuvenation therapies to enhance vitality and prevent recurrence of illness. I am passionate about making Ayurveda understandable and practical for today’s lifestyle. Whether it’s managing modern-day metabolic issues or offering natural beauty solutions, my goal is to empower patients with holistic tools for long-term well-being. As I continue my postgraduate journey, I remain committed to deepening my knowledge in medicinal plants and applying that wisdom to help patients heal naturally and completely.

Dr. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.
